I may have set a new personal record for my voter registration rate

I spent a half hour at lunch in a local high school cafeteria today registering kids -- and got ten (10) registrations: that's one every three (3) minutes

I generally figure I'm par for the course if I get one every fifteen (15) minutes and I'm just smokin if I get one every five (5) minutes

provided they're at least 16 and understand they can't vote til they're 18

Preregistration puts their names on a provisional list, so they get sent a voter registration card when they turn 18

I worked on voter registration a number of years ago. Didn't get many takers because everyone seemed to be registered already. This is Chicago, though....
